Listening to every heart

0 posted 2007-08-17 09:15 PM



I Hear You…

My child, I've heard your whispers
when you speak to the silence in your mind,
you ask Me what I see in you
if I see in you any reason or rhyme.

Come, for I see the great cheer in you
   and in you I see the delight,
as you go forth to the less fortunate
   and guide them through the night.

I see Myself the lone shame in you
   for past transgressions wrought,
I see the forgiveness that you ask
   for realizing what can't be bought.

I see in you, My child, the hurt
   over your genetically stubborn pride,
and I would ask that you continue to pray
   and from Me, no, please, never hide.

I see past pain, and continued hope
   I see troubled shadows creep within,
I see you raise your eyes to heaven
   I see the trembling in your chin.

And then I see your very grace,
   as the tears well up in your eyes
every time you lift your face
   your love cannot be compromised.

I see a heart that bares its soul
   I see you think to impart great golden goals

even though your own have not been met
   for you have prayed to Me. No, I don't forget.

I see you try to do your best,
   and every day you wonder "oh my ~
did I slip, break a heart, or worse?"
   that's when I catch you on the fly.

O My child, continue on,
do your best in this, My name
and continue please to pray to Me,
and I will keep you from harm, and shame.

Love, God

Posted originally in Spiritual, but now I have several additional grandchildren who may someday find this to be more appropriate in Open. Thank you for reading.

I enjoy your sojourns into meter and rhyme.
Nicely written.
